Another £11.01 for me today please...I've had my wages sitting in my account for a couple of days as I got paid early and they're just confusing me. So the £11.01 is the leftover from last month and I'm starting this month now!

New total is £45.05

Hi threaders.

Just posting to say I'm missing this week as things very tight and just don't want to go over drawn. DH is paid on Wednesday so i'll add the that measily 77p then.

had a dozy moment yesterday. I said last week that it wouldn't be until January that I would be able to add to my virtual sealed pot as this week my bank accounts would go overdrawn. Anyway I couldn't resist adding something so I added a £1 and something from one account and £6 n something from another account except of course the balance left in my bank account was still an odd amount ? which I couldn't understand :think: but of course as I was overdrawn - the money I moved out was only adding to my balance overdrawn. doh !!

Looking forward to January when I can join in properly again.

Its so tempting to transfer the £40 odd pounds that is now in my virtual pot to pay towards my overdraft leaving an IOU to myself but I know I will probably never repay myself so will leave the money well alone until its a real emergency and will try hard not to spend until December next year.

I think I posted previously and said that I was thinking that if I spent say £9.56 in a shop that I would round it up to £10 and transfer the 44p into the virtual pot. Does anyone else does this ???

I think I've heard of a current account which does this automatically. I do kindofa, but not to my VSP. USually pay in cash and then put my coins in the jar, but not after ever transaction. Might start and make that my payment a day to the old credit card...

Do most peeps transfer once a week, or every day? I started once a week but oooh it's addictive

I do it once a week La E. Excpet for the times when I got a brucie bonus (like 54p interest!) I looked forward to it on a Friday and would start to get excited on the Thurs eve...

Ooooo get outta the fast lane DNM!!!!
